Susceptibility and adaptation to human TRIM5 alpha alleles at positive selected sites in HIV-1 capsid KU Leuven
Gene expansion and positive selection as bacterial adaptations to oligotrophic conditions Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde Universiteit Gent
We examined the genomic adaptations of prevalent bacterial taxa in a highly nutrient- and ion-depleted freshwater environment located in the secondary cooling water system of a nuclear research reactor. Using genome-centric metagenomics, we found that none of the prevalent bacterial taxa were related to typical freshwater bacterial lineages. We also did not identify strong signatures of genome streamlining, which has been shown to be one of ...

Adaptation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to impaired host immunity in HIV-infected patients Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Background. It is unknown whether immunosuppression influences the physiologic state of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in vivo. We evaluated the impact of host immunity by comparing M. tuberculosis and human gene transcription in sputum between human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected and uninfected patients with tuberculosis.
Methods. We collected sputum specimens before treatment from Gambians and Ugandans with pulmonary ...
